This painting is inspired by the underwater landscape of Ricketts Point, where I often snorkel. On a particular day when I took a photo that referenced this painting, I was rocking in the waves during a storm, embraced by the sea’s calming, repetitive lullaby.
As I drifted beneath the surface, I watched plants become moving creatures, and camouflaged fish turn into sticks, rocks, and grasses. The shifting light and motion blurred the boundaries between plant and fish, stillness and movement. Everything seemed to transform before my eyes, creating an unending stream of inspiration.
it felt like entering a secret world — a place of quiet wonder and imagination.
Artist Bio: She completed a Master of Fine Art at the Vilnius Art Academy in Lithuania and was a recipient of a scholarship at the International Summer Academy in Salzburg.
Brigita has always been fascinated by the landscape, and organic forms and textures. Her paintings are not intended to replicate a scene, but rather evoke a feeling and a sense of place. Brigita’s paintings are visceral and relate to inward feeling rather than to intellect. Her painting process is spontaneous and raw, and her visual language features abstract textural shapes, rhythmical patterns, calligraphic marks, and unique colour combinations.
Brigita’s fascination with the underwater world and snorkelling is evident in her art practice. Her unexpected seascapes appear in ever changing new ways, but organic textural marks that remind of a hand-woven tapestry remain distinct to her artistic style.
